I am trying to understand something about the DMD-1 (not the DD-1!) controller. I have an MD-6 controller, and it basically only has a 16x slew in the ra movement direction and a stop button in the reverse direction. Now with this DMD-1, I have full speeds working in the RA directions, but when I push the reverse, it just stops. Is this the correct operation for this controller, or should it properly reverse the motor? I have read on some earlier threads that it may not move in reverse. Just trying to understand it and would appreciate any feedback from someone who has a properly working DMD-1 controller or the manual explaining what it should do.Brian

Yes, the left button stops/pauses the RA drive. If you want to reverse direction temporarily, then change the direction switch, then slew with the right button.

Now, my DMD-2 operates very well with 9V power, by either using the 6 "C" battery pack, or a 9V DC adapter. The currently available 12V Vixen AC adapter caused my DMD-2 drive to not operate at all and my DD1 drive to stutter.

Thanks Reid, that is what I do with the MD-6 as it has the separate 16x button for forward only.With the DMD-1, you have speed control switch, the directions switch and the buttons, so this was confusing. They should have labeled it stop, not an arrow!Brian
